Rebel fans were treated to a home run derby Tuesday night when the University of Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks came to town. Ole Miss eventually secured a monumental 21-7 win in seven innings.
The Rebels collected 17 hits and scored 21 runs on a rare off-night for both pitching staffs. Greer Holston started on the mound for the Rebels but barely made it three innings after giving up seven runs. Holston hung several pitches out over the heart of the plate, and the Warhawks capitalized with multiple home runs and doubles.
Houston Roth came in to pitch with one out in the fourth inning and was solid for the Rebels, conceding just one walk and collecting five strikeouts over 2.
